A growing body of recent research indicates that, in Earth's warming climate, there is no "tipping point," or threshold warm temperature, beyond which polar sea ice cannot recover if temperatures come back down. New University of Washington research indicates that even if Earth warmed enough to melt all polar sea ice, the ice could recover if the planet cooled again.
A new study shows that as climate change enhances tree growth in tropical forests, the resulting increase in litterfall could stimulate soil micro-organisms leading to a release of stored soil carbon.

Lake Tahoe clarity dropped in 2010, but the rate of decline in clarity over the past decade remains slower compared with previous decades, according to UC Davis scientists who have monitored the lake for more than 40 years.
As the U.S. government makes decisions on high-profile environmental issues, Faisal Hossain's influence on those decisions is growing—attesting to the fact that a researcher at a mid-size university in a rural area can have a powerful national, even international, impact.
Recent data from NSF-funded research in both Greenland and Antarctica demonstrate that fossil-fuel related emissions of both methane and ethane, two of the most abundant hydrocarbons in the atmosphere, declined at the end of the twentieth century, according to a paper published Thursday in the journal Nature.
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey will embark on a research cruise to the Arctic Ocean beginning today to collect water samples and other data to determine trends in ocean acidification from the least explored ocean in the world.
These findings point to climate change and variability working together equally to accelerate the observed sea ice loss during the late 20th century.

The Ohio State researchers argue that in this case, as forests age, they get rejuvenated with younger individuals of different species – a more-complex and -diverse community will be replacing the old guard.
While geologists and economists debate the specifics, American University School of Communication professor Matthew Nisbet believes peak petroleum and the associated risks to public health may provide an opportunity to bring conservatives and liberals together in the move toward alternative forms of energy.
Under the comprehensive new national program, trucks and buses built in 2014 through 2018 will reduce oil consumption by a projected 530 million barrels and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution by approximately 270 million metric tons.
New Zealand's intense ultraviolet light may be bad for the skin, but it could provide a boost for vegetable production, according to new research by a Massey University crop scientist.
A new Web tool unveiled by NRDC lets users read how their state might be impacted by climate change.
New computer modeling work shows that by 2100, if society wants to limit carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to less than 40 percent higher than it is today, the lowest cost option is to use every available means of reducing emissions.
According to a new paper by researchers around the team of Sönke Zaehl from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, nitrogen's detrimental effects on the climate roughly correspond to its climactic benefits. In fact, the scientists' findings suggest that the negative impacts of nitrogen may even slighty prevail.
New research published in the journal Biogeosciences provides a detailed account of how carbon naturally flows into and out of crops themselves as they grow, are harvested and are then eaten far from where they're grown. The paper shows how regions that depend on others to grow their food end up releasing the carbon that comes with those crops into the atmosphere.
Changes in ocean chemistry due to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to damage shellfish populations around the world, but some nations will feel the impacts much sooner and more intensely than others, according to a study by scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI, USA).
Residents in the Midwest awoke to the highest mold count for the season after a night of torrential rain and lightening strikes. An official air alert was issued by Joseph Leija, MD, allergist who performs the official allergy count for the Midwest for the National Allergy Bureau.
To date, many academics and government officials have argued that putting a price on carbon – most commonly through taxes or emissions trading – is all that is needed to overcome every possible barrier to delivering cost-effective energy efficiency improvements.

Compliments Galore!
I get asked about this pullover all the time. It's so warm that I brought it as one of the only 2 warm layers to my latest trip to New England this winter. It's very comfortable, has snug thumb holes that won't lose their shape, and I love the zippers on either side of the pouch. Just wish it wasn't $80 - but hey I'm glad it's quality :)

Joe Sakic retires after 20 NHL seasons
Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic retired Thursday after a 20-year NHL career during which he played on two Stanley Cup championship teams.
Sakic, 40, the face of the franchise, spent his entire 20-year NHL career with Colorado or the Quebec Nordiques. He ends a productive and illustrious career with 1,641 points — 625 goals, 1,016 assists — with nine seasons of 30-or-more goals and six with 100-or-more points, all franchise highs.
The center is eighth overall in points, 11th in assists and 14th in goals all-time.
Avalanche officials said this week Sakic's No. 19 sweater will be retired during a ceremony at the season opener and will hang in the rafters at Denver's Pepsi Center.
After having the privilege of playing for 20 years, I'm leaving the game of hockey with nothing but great memories and a sense of accomplishment,
he said Colorado's Web site.
We can't put into words what he meant to this franchise and to our hockey fans,
said Avalanche President Pierre Lacroix.

I love our remodel, where Kitchen, Dining Room, and Living Room are now one GreatRoom. I can manage to keep stuff off the island and DR table, but could sure use some kind of metal cover for my double ss sink. Is there such a thing? Can someone point me in the right direction? Doesn't have to be fancy. I used to have a pair of long metal burner covers, covering two at a time, but they wouldn't fit the sink. TIA, chery2 |

We had the exact problem and made an oak cutting board that has cleats on the bottom of oak that fits exactly in the sink. It does not move, and matches very well with the cabinets. We use it in the sink that does not have the disposal, so that when chopping etc, you just scrape off into the sink with the disposal. |

I could remember all the good times we shared,
not to forget our problems.
As I lay thinking of how much you really meant to me.
I can't imagine how I'm gonna feel when it's time to say good-bye.
As we part and go our separate ways,
I feel I want you to know and always remember
what we've been through to get to where we're at know.
My heart will always belong to you, no matter what.
But in return, I want you to know and remember everything about us:
the laughs,
the tears,
the arguments,
making up
and the time shared between us.
So always know that I'm always thinking about you.

Experienced gardeners have a strong love-hate relationship with violets, and it all depends on where they are planted. Of course, everybody loves the flowers. Just keep them out of your regular flower garden, and use them under trees, in front of shrubs, and other places for patches of color and borders of groundcover-like violets alone. Because they seed and spread rapidly, and if they spread throughout your other perennials, and in a year or two, you'll have a big job pulling them all out and cleaning everything up.
But just look at those flowers! Who can resist? Plant yours where you want them to spread, and you'll love them forever.

Montas Eliacé and his wife live in Démier, a locality in Crochu, Haiti. In May 2013, MTI held training session near his house. Although Montas was not participating in the training, those who attended passed along the information they had learned about Cholera prevention and diarrheal diseases. Montas was inspired by what he heard. He and his wife started saving to build a latrine. Eleven month later, the latrine is complete! Montas is very proud.
Thank you for your donations to help prevent Cholera in Haiti. Because of you, communities and households are being transformed, and this deadly bacteria is being stopped in the most effective way possible - before it can infect. Thank you!!
Yesterday we were grateful to have the downtown Portland office of KeyBank choose to volunteer at our headquarters in Tigard as part of their annual "Neighbors Make a Difference Day." Across the U.S., 7,000 KeyBank employees participated to make a difference in their communities.
It was a hot day here (90 degrees!), and our generous volunteers cleaned two of our dental vans. They also helped pre-pack disaster response bags. We send these units in with our first responders so it's critical to have them ready in advance of a disaster. In one afternoon, they contributed to both our U.S. programs as well as our International programs! After their service, the team toured our REAL. LIFE. Exhibit.
Of the experience, KeyBank employee Katerina shared, "I really loved the exhibit tour... it was good to see how we are contributing to helping people in need worldwide... The exhibit was sobering, but at the same time very inspirational to see how much Medical Teams International hs contributed to helping those in need." Thank you, KeyBank volunteers!!
Join our team! You can make a direct impact on the lives of families in need around the world and here in the U.S. Check out our local volunteering opportunities - no medical experience required!
Emma Saytue went into labor knowing she was in trouble. The local medical clinic was closed. And in this part of Liberia there was no one nearby who could help her give birth.
So Emma, already in labor, walked over an hour to reach a woman named Edwina. Edwina is an MTI volunteer who, thanks to your gifts, had been trained to help mothers give birth—and to know when more help was needed.
After Emma safely delivered her child, Edwina noticed a dangerous complication. She rushed Emma to the nearest clinic, where Emma received the treatment she needed. Emma returned home with a healthy baby.
You helped save Emma's life—and ensured that Emma's child will grow up with her mother around! It all happens because of your gifts.
Your gifts did something simple but lifesaving for a mother named Tert Maes—you taught her how to identify the symptoms of malaria.
When Tert recently saw the symptoms in her five-year-old son she knew exactly what to do. Instead of waiting to see if it was just a common cold—and unknowingly letting the disease ravage his tiny body—Tert immediately sought treatment for her son. He was diagnosed in time, received treatment, and recovered completely. That's the life-saving power of your gift!
And, just months later, Tert saw the signs of the same disease in her twelve-year-old son. He too was treated in time.
Your gifts also trained a local health volunteer in Tert's community in Cambodia. When Tert's twelve-year-old was bitten by a highly venomous snake, that volunteer knew exactly what to do to save his life.
"My son almost died." Tert says, "But he has fully recovered with proper care and essential medicine."
Teaching mothers like Tert how to identify diseases and training local healthcare volunteers is so important. You helped save Tert's sons' lives (one of them twice!) with your gift. The impact you've had on mothers and children in Cambodia and around the world is amazing.
We are so excited to share with you how your gifts to our Haiti programs are truly transforming lives.
Thanks to your donations, Medical Teams International recently was able to hold a mobile medical clinic in La Sucrerie, a rural community near Les Cayes in Haiti. A mobile medical clinic is a vehicle equipped with WHO-recommended medicines and medical supplies as well as tables and chairs for patient registration and care. The clinic will set up with tents or use an empty building. As part of our Haiti Advantage Program, this clinic was held specifically to treat disabilities.
Forty-eight people came to this particular clinic. As in previous therapy clinics, most people had never consulted or been treated by therapists due to lack of knowledge regarding rehabilitation services or due to lack of access to services.
Lereste, a 49-year-old man, was among those who visited this clinic. At the age of 25, Lereste, was in a serious car accident and was in a coma for 20 days. Though he was in the hospital, he did not receive proper evaluative care, such as radiographic evaluation. After waking from the coma, he slowly began to move and eventually walk, though he suffered much pain in his back and legs. He had no money for additional medical attention and thought he would always live with the pain and difficulty in walking. For half of his life, Lereste has suffered daily.
He arrived at MTI-Advantage Program mobile clinic leaning heavily on the crutches he found necessary to help him walk. His trunk was severely bent forward, and he complained of sharp pain in his leg when walking. The staff evaluated his legs and noted a significant difference in leg length and reduced motion in his back and legs and reduced strength. He showed signs of significant malnutrition. The staff made arrangements for Lereste to come to the clinic for a more thorough evaluation. He was sent to the local hospital for radiographs that showed signs of a previous hip fracture, leg fracture, pelvis displacement, decreased bone density and extreme lower back osteoarthritis. The staff had the information they needed to start a therapy program.
He started specific flexibility and strengthening exercise and was provided with tennis shoes and a custom shoe lift to correct his leg length difference. After receiving regular therapy, his motion and strength improved to the point that crutches are no longer necessary for walking! His face beams with excitement because he can now walk without severe pain. Though he still walks with a limp, he is able to move about in his community and is so happy to be able to visit he neighbors and go to church. Lereste never misses a therapy appointment and tells everyone what a difference treatment has made in his life.
Thanks to your generosity, Lereste received simple interventions, which transformed his life. Without you, he would never have know the freedom he experiences today. Thank you for your support of our Haiti programs!

text: oh this thread is inspiring! I've been wanting to put together a darkroom for years now, but it will either have to go in a cramped space under the porch in the basement (4' wide by around 12' long, no running water / drain) or in a bathroom as a temporary setup / tear down every time. One way or another I will go that route though... been having way too much fun these past few years developing my own b&w, color negs, and color slides at home. I've also all but decided to ditch the inkjet printer too (those ink costs are ridiculous, and it chews threw $$$$ worth of ink after sitting idle for just a couple months), and just go pure wet darkroom. I'm sure I will get better prints this way too (and just farm out my annual holiday greeting card to a pro printer like WHCC).

Dust Collection The Big Deal About Silica Dust Collection Silica is the second-most common compound on earth. It is found in sand, minerals, granite, sandstone, flint and slate. It also can be in soil, mortar, plaster and shingles. The cutting, breaking, crushing, drilling, grinding or abrasive blasting of these materials may produce fine silica dust.
Workers in these construction environments are at high risk of developing silicosis, a serious lung disease caused by the accumulation of silica dust in the lungs. Even today, many workers are not aware that common building products such as clay bricks, concrete, tiles and cement products contain silica. When these building products are cut, drilled or ground using diamond blades or cup wheels, they create fine particles of silica in the air. When small silica dust particles are inhaled, they can embed themselves deeply in the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are exchanged. There, the lungs cannot clear out the dust by mucous or coughing. The silica dust causes the formation of scar tissue, thus reducing the lungs' ability to take in oxygen. Many workers with silicosis develop other health problems such as tuberculosis and lung cancer. There is no cure for silicosis. Silicosis is the most common occupational lung disease worldwide. Controlling silica dust at work The only effective protection against silicosis is the prevention of silica dust in the air. Employers must take measures to ensure that workers are not exposed to silica dust. There a number of simple control measures that can be taken to effectively reduce the amount of airborne silica.
Wear disposable or washable work clothes, and shower if facilities are available. Vacuum dust off your clothes or change into clean clothing before leaving the worksite. Do not take contaminated clothes home. Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where crystalline silica dust is present.
Posters and signs warning of the presence of silica dust should always be prominently displayed at any work site. Quarterly "Tail Gate Talks" should be conducted on the dangers of silica exposure so that all workers have a complete understanding of how to prevent increased exposure. The use of Respiratory Protective Equipment should be considered as a last resort when all other preventative solutions have been put in place and silica dust exposure continues to be an issue. Respiratory Protective Equipment can vary, so make sure that the proper equipment is being used and fitted correctly to each worker. Workers must be trained in the proper way to use a respirator and must understand the health reasons for always wearing it. Wear only a N95 NIOSH certified respirator, if respirator protection is required. It is mandatory to have a written respiratory program in place if any kind of protective equipment is being used.

Against the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend, the LA Galaxy enjoyed several good moments, but also a couple moments that were not as good as LA played to a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes.
Throughout Sunday's clash against San Jose, LA's defense did well to limit San Jose's wide play as well as their reliance on second balls, which have been an important part to the club's success this season. However, on San Jose's two goals-- both of which came on set pieces --the Galaxy defenders admitted that their marking could have been much cleaner. With Sunday's match against Seattle Sounders FC serving as the final tune up ahead of next Thursday's Western Conference Knockout Round against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, defender Omar Gonzalez believes that LA's must iron out any kinks as soon as possible.
"I think from here on out it's just about worrying about ourselves and the way we show up to games and how we start halves. Last game we started the game very well, but then second half we didn't start so well. I think there's just crucial moments in the game where we have to have our heads right," said Gonzalez. "And that's beginning of games, the beginning of the second half, every time there's some kind of stoppage just be focused and be mentally prepared to make plays. I think if we worry about ourselves and how we go into the game and how we're going to play, it's going to be really hard for teams to beat us."
(On preparing for a game where the result doesn't have an impact...)
GONZALEZ: "I think first and foremost you never want to go out with that kind of mindset. You always want to go out to win a game and to put your best effort out there. So for us it's all about fine-tuning things that we need to right before Thursday's game. It's a crucial game, because it's getting close and after Sunday's game it's going to be a brand new season, the postseason, playoffs start and it's going to be a lot of fun."
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- Some might say that the LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League match against Isidro Metapan is of little importance beyond the seeding for the CCL Quarterfinals -- but don't tell that to rookie midfielder Rafael Garcia.
The rookie midfielder is expected to play an important role in marshalling the Galaxy midfield that is expected to contain fellow youngsters Michael Stephens and Kenney Walker on Thursday. During LA's CCL matches with the Puerto Rico Islanders earlier in the tournament, Garcia enjoyed extensive success as his calmer style complements the energetic Stephens and Walker to a tee.
LA will need this order on Thursday as they hope to lock down a dynamic Metapan midfield that uses the wide field at Estadio Jorge Calero Suárez to spread out the opposition through the play of wide players like Pablo Suarez and Eliseo Quintanilla. During the last meeting between the two clubs, the pair enjoyed some success as Metapan jumped out to an early one goal lead, before LA's physical play proved too much for the Salvadorans as the Galaxy cruised to 5-2 victory.
For the Galaxy to be the first team to win in Metapan in more than a year, Garcia knows his teammates must be in for a fight.
'It's going to be a battle from the beginning and a war. We know that they're not going to want to lose to us on their home field," said Garcia. "It's hard to say [what to expect from them], I want to think that we got all the travel out of us in the session, it took a while for us to get going. We're expecting a battle from them and we're expecting to play good soccer tomorrow, we wouldn't have it any other way. I know that the coaches have high expectation on the whole team and we need to come out and do our best...We have to be alert on restarts, set pieces and everything. We know that they're not going to give us anything on the field so we're expecting to battle."
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- The LA Galaxy trained on Wednesday at the Estadio Jorge "El Magico" Gonzalez in San Salvador in preparation for Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League clash against Isidro Metapán.
Above is a shot of a Pyramid that occupies the Stadium's north end. The "El Magico" is currently without a tenant, but was the former home of Salvadoran Primera Division club Atletico Marte.
As has been stated throughout the week, the Galaxy have taken a Reserve squad and half of the coaching staff --including assistant coach Curt Onalfo -- to El Salvador. The complete roster is below:
Goalkeepers: Brian Perk, Brian Rowe
Defenders: Andrew Boyens, Bryan Gaul, Bryan Jordan, Tommy Meyer
Midfielders: Rafael Garcia, Hector Jimenez, Dan Keat, Marcelo Sarvas, Michael Stephens, Kenney Walker
Forwards: Jack McBean, Pat Noonan, Jose Villarreal
During the training, head coach Bruce Arena met with U.S. ambassador to El Salvador Mari Carmen Aponte and presented her with an autographed Galaxy uniform. That wasn't all that occured as Galaxy legend and longtime Salvadoran International Mauricio Cienfuegos also met with Aponte as well as a group of Salvadoran children to sign autographs and pose for pictures.

Thoughts from several Galaxy players, the Three Points to the game and more coming later...
CARSON, Calif. -- Second-year midfielder Dan Keat was widely considered the top rookie during the 2011 season, but since undergoing knee surgery in June, the New Zealand International has struggled to find playing time in MLS or Reserve League play. However, now finally healthy, Keat is eager to play some role in Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League match against Isidro Metapan.
Keat faces a stiff test as he will need to crack into a Galaxy midfield that includes Michael Stephens, Rafael Garcia and Kenney Walker, each who have flourished in CCL play this year. However, Keat, traveled to El Salvador believes that a good appearance against Metapan could do wonders for inserting him back into Bruce Arena's rotation.
Below are thoughts from Keat on his fitness and his goal of earning more minutes...
KEAT: "It's good, I feel healthy, which is a good start and I think everything follows from that. When you know that your body is good and your mind is right, I know that I can play and help the team. Just have to be ready if and when you're called."
(On attempting to earn minutes from the Garcia and Walker...)
KEAT: "I suppose when I got injured those guys came in and did really well, especially in reserve games. That's life in a club like this, I've been really impressive with the way those guys have stepped in this year, and even though it's never easy, I think that I can play."
(On what he could do break into the lineup...)
KEAT: "I just need to play my own game and you can only control what you can do. If I get a chance to play this week then I need to play well, and just go from there. There's not a whole lot left in the season and you have to see what happens, but hopefully by playing well, you can help the team out."
A new name has been added to the LA Galaxy injury list.
Galaxy defender David Junior Lopes, who is listed as out with a left facial fracture. Lopes joins DeLaGarza, Leonardo and Nakazawa, who are also listed as out. Joining Lopes on the list are David Beckham and Landon Donovan, the pair are listed as questionable on the sheet with left ankle soreness and a left knee bone bruise, respectively.
LA's complete injury report is listed below...
OUT: DF A.J. DeLaGarza (L knee sprain); DF Leonardo (R knee inflammation); DF David Junior Lopes (L facial fracture); MF Kyle Nakazawa (back spasms); QUESTIONABLE: MF David Beckham (L ankle soreness); MF Landon Donovan (L knee bone bruise)
The LA Galaxy have arrived in El Salvador ahead of Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League Group 5 finale against Isidro Metapan. Above is a photo snapped at sunset as the club landed in San Salvador.
As head coach Bruce Arena and Associate Head Coach Dave Sarachan told LA Galaxy Insider on Monday, the club has split its squads and the coaching staff with half traveling to El Salvador, while the others -- like David Beckham and Landon Donovan -- stayed behind. LA train on Wednesday morning in San Salvador.
Meanwhile, in other CONCACAF Champions League action, the Houston Dynamo qualified for the CCL quarterfinals from Group 3, after a 1-1 draw with Honduran club Olimpia. Real Salt Lake was not so lucky as RSL played to a scoreless draw with C.S. Herediano advancing from Group 2. In the third game of the night, defending CCL champions Monterrey crushed Panamaian side Chorrillo, 6-0.
It's time for one of the final "Ask the Insider" segments of the season.
Today's question comes from Dennyz Hernandez, who asks: "Since we'll be 4th place regardless of the score on Sunday's game…do you think it would be a good idea to sit and rest all the starters for the wild card game.
With the LA Galaxy's playoff destiny set, the Galaxy coaching staff are expected to limit the minutes for their first team regulars in Sunday's contest against the Seattle Sounders as they look ahead to next week's First Knockout Round game against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, but don't expect the entire squad to rest.
In particular, Landon Donovan and David Beckham, who are still returning from injuries could use in-game minutes against Seattle as they look to improve their sharpness ahead of the unforgiving postseason schedule. Both players took part in training on Monday and are expected to be evaluated throughout the week by Associate Head Coach Dave Sarachan, who has stayed behind with half of LA's coaching staff. While getting minutes for the likes of Donovan and Beckham is important, so is providing time forward Edson Buddle and midfielder Christian Wilhelmsson, each in need additional minutes as they continue to round back into form.
But there is another wrinkle for the Galaxy to navigate in balancing the squads as head coach Bruce Arena has sent his Reserve squad to El Salvador for Thursday's match against Isidro Metapán.This match will serve as a valuable learning experience for Arena's youngsters, but could limit their availability for Sunday's contest as even those that do not play 90 minutes, will return on short rest from El Salvador.
Taking all these factors into account, expect Arena to use a mix of first team players and reserves on Sunday.
Thanks Dennyz, you can get your tickets by emailing email@example.com. For everyone else, remember to leave your questions on the LA Galaxy Facebook page following the club's next match against Isidro Metapán on Oct. 24 for the chance to have your question featured and win tickets to LA's regular season finale against the Seattle Sounders on Oct. 28.
Landon Donovan has been incredibly introspective in recent months and on Tuesday; the LA Galaxy captain gave another intuitive interview, this time with ESPN FC's Roger Bennett.
During his conversation with Bennett, the 30-year-old Donovan discussed his role with the U.S. National Team, his diminished presence on social media as well as his stints with English Premier League side Everton. When asked about his expectations to suit up for the U.S. at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Donovan provided an honest response.
"I don't have the answer to that," Donovan told Bennett. "There are a lot of moving pieces: Will I be playing, period? Will I be part of the team? Will I be good enough to be wanted?" he continued. "If I had to guess I would say it is 50-50. I will have more clarity after I take a break."
Donovan is currently working his way back from a bone bruise on his left knee that has prevented him from playing in LA's 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes last Sunday.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy have a busy week ahead -- a busy 10 days really -- and to balance the responsibilities of Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League clash against Isidro Metapán as well as Sunday's final MLS regular season against Seattle Sounders FC, head coach Bruce Arena is splitting his squad.
The LA Galaxy seem poised to send a Reserve squad to El Salvador for Thursday's match against Metapán, similar to the one that took part in LA's last CCL match against Puerto Rico Islanders as they look to solidify their seed ahead of the Quarterfinal stage. This means that it is likely the Galaxy will leave behind its first team, including DP's David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, to prepare for Sunday's game against Seattle and LA's postseason run, which begins with the Knockout round match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Nov. 1.
While Arena -- and likely assistant coach Curt Onalfo, who led the Reserve League squad to a West Division title -- is in Central America for the CCL fixture, Associate Head Coach Dave Sarachan will remain in Southern California to work with the first team.
"We have a whole group this week training, as well as a group going to El Salvador," head coach Bruce Arena told LA Galaxy Insider on Monday. "They're in training every day with our guys..half our staff will be here and half will be in El Salvador."
"We wanted to minimize the group that travels. What that does, it allows us to work with our first team that is generally regenerating," said Sarachan. "The idea is to make sure that we're covering our bases, both in Metapán and here."
Sarachan also admitted that it will be vital for him, to help in the process of getting both Donovan and Beckham back to full fitness.
"It's monumental in terms of putting our puzzle together," said Sarachan. "We have the depth this year and as we've shown, and showed yesterday in San Jose, not only can guys step in and compete, but keep the level where we're imposing ourselves on other teams. I thought yesterday was a good example, I thought the first 45 minutes were as good a 45 minutes collectively as we've played, and we were missing Landon and David. It doesn't mean that we don't want them back so I think that it's crucial that we use this period of time to get those guys ready."
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Sunday's 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes was a knock-down-drag-out brawl, but according to Galaxy forward Robbie Keane, that may be just what his team needs as they look to the playoffs.
Wearing the captain's armband in place of the injured Landon Donovan, Keane was dynamic throughout Sunday's match tallying the Galaxy's first-ever goal at Buck Shaw Stadium in the 2-2 tie. During the match, Keane was clearly emboldened by the armband as he was seen repeatedly attempting to break up scrums between the two sides, in order to calm nerves during heated moments.
But with those moments likely to get more and more frequent as the MLS Cup Playoffs set to start, Keane believes that Sunday's battle was a valuable character builder for the Galaxy.
"I thought we all showed a lot of character," said Keane. "You have to in these games, we've seen the way that they play all you want to do is get the ball and hit as far up front to the big guy up front. That was our main objective is to get that second ball and I think that the lads played very well."
More thoughts from Keane below...
(On the play of Edson Buddle...)
KEANE: "I thought we played well, full credit to Edson, he's had a long injury and has come back so it was nice for him to get the goal today. He's a good player and he's very, very strong, and I think that he'll be a vital player for us in the coming weeks…I'm sure that goal will do him a world of good."
(On the tie and only gaining one point...)
"I think we left two points on the pitch to be honest with you. I think we were the better team, we can't be conceding goals from set pieces, it's not good. But apart from that, I think you have to give up credit. We played tough against 12 men and that includes the referee, so it was quite tough. The lads showed a lot of character, we weren't getting decisions that we thought we should have and I think as captain, I had to ask the ref to speak to me when I was asking questions, but it was okay, when the lads from their team were speaking in Spanish to him, he would speak back to them. Sorry, I don't speak Spanish."
(On whether LA must try to figure out the San Jose...)
KEANE: No, you saw it today. We can play the way that we play today then we've got no worries."
(On whether or not, he enjoys playing San Jose...)
KEANE: "Of course, it's always an exciting game, and I'm sure the fan enjoyed it. I think that if we play the way that we play, especially in the first half, I think we can beat anybody."

Odain almost tripped up as he ran, still quite tense and empty minded from the kiss. He eventually managed to walk back up the stairs, overhearing the chatting going on. "N-Not from scratch!" he added on to what Velisa said, the embarrasment obvious in his tone and face "I can...sort of swim.". He then realised something, looking over at Velisa "I uhm...I'm not exactly wearing appropriate clothing for the water..."
Ask Fortune
"Even better~." Sarah said in a sultry tone at Odain's problem. Velisa smirked at that, giving him a pat. "Hm, I guess that's a problem." She said. "Anyone have something for him to wear in the water?" There was a brief period where everyone looked at each other. "...I've got a bathing suit that I... uh... kept as a trophy from this guy I... you know." Janine said awkwardly. And Sarah laughed.
Odain stood quite awkwardly as he leaned against the wall, apparently actually intimidated standing near all three women. Sarah not helping much with her words as he turned away, his barely recovering blush now just as bad as a few minutes ago. He raised an eyebrow at the word 'trophy', giving Janine a worried look "...I guess I don't r-really have many other options..." he said, trying his best not to come off as uncomfortable.
"Well, come, I doubt you want to get changed up here." Janine said. "Though I'm sure these two would love it." Velisa and Sarah both smirked, and Velisa motioned for Odain to follow Janine.
Odain gave a short nod to Janine, not being able to hold back a rather timid laugh at her last comment, giving Sarah and Velisa a happy glance before following Janine. As they were walking along, Odain tilted his head up and spoke worriedly "So uh...these are swimming trunks, right?"
Janine snickered. "Yeah, of course." Janine said. "I wouldn't want a guy who could fit in a speedo. Size isn't everything, but come on." She gave Odain a little smirk, and led him through one of the closed doors. It opened simply into a closet, stuffed with clothes. Janine began to rifle through them. Mostly Bilgewater sailing clothes.
Odain blinked at what Janine said, quietly gripping at his arms as he crosses them over eachother, apparently a bit self-conscious. He waited patiently as she began searching through the clothes, half-hoping that she doesn't find them so he can avoid this whole situation. "Velisa seems very uhm...foward...h-has she always been like that?" he eventually asked her before continuing suddenly "Not that I'm implying that's a bad thing! I like that about her...I was just wondering."
"Hm? Yeah, that's who she is." Janine replied, digging through the clothes. "She loves being forward, and she loves it when the guy is nervous about it." She looked at Odain. "You're definitely getting action today, kiddo. Limber up." And with a smirk, she tossed him the swimming trunks. "You can get changed in there." She said, getting up.
Odain seemed to look away in thought, clearly anxious and unsure about something. He snapped back into reality as he saw the trunks fly toward him, barely catching them before slowly nodding and walking out of view "A-Alright..." Sounds of cloth being moved around can be heard and after a minute or so Odain walks back out, still wearing his robe albeit loosely but carrying his shirt, pants, socks and shoes over his shoulder. When they get back to Velisa and Sarah he speaks up, obviously embarrased despite still wearing the robe "So...where're we heading off to anyway?"
"Hm?" Sarah asked. "...good idea! I was just thinking off the dock, but yeah, epic, let's get to a bay or something. Home Velisa doesn't get jealous of Nami shows up~." "As if she could compare." Velisa scoffed, smirking. Sarah grinned, before yelling out. "Alright, ya scuvy dogs, we're setting sail!" She yelled out to Bilgewater. "Janine! Round up the stragglers, the wenches they're paying can get way better customers. On with it!" Janine snickered at that, and ran up the dock, heading to the nearest visible tavern. And it wouldn't take long for Janine and three other crew men to exit and jog to the next nearest ones.

Real solutions needed in wake of another downtown shootingApril 10, 2014 |
By G. Michael Dobbs firstname.lastname@example.com Springfield had another shooting in its entertainment district over the weekend, which has become great fodder for the folks who hate and fear the city in the first place. My question, though, is to the people who care about the city instead of those who toss up a snarky response on the web and hide behind a pseudonym. What would you do to address this kind of violence? Let's look at what has been done. Clubs and bars in the entertainment district generally hire off-duty police officers as additional security. There are police patrols downtown on the nights when the clubs are open – generally Thursday through Sunday. In order to encourage the quick and effective departure from the area at 2 a.m., the Sarno administration has altered the end time of entertainment for many of the clubs. Mayor Domenic Sarno has also urged the Board of License Commissioners to change the closing time for alcohol service to 1 a.m. in an effort to discourage potential violence. There are several conflicting efforts in play in downtown Springfield. Do we as a city want a club quarter? I think many people would say "yes" as that is a feature most people would assume comes with a city of 155,000 people. Do we want the jobs and tax revenue that comes with the club quarter to go away? I believe most city residents would say no. Would clubs that are designed to attract young adults also face problems such as over-serving? Yes. Having been a bartender I can tell you it's very difficult to ascertain how many drinks a patron has had at other establishments before he walks into yours. Do these clubs attract people from out of the city who may behave in a manner differently than they would in their own hometown? Yes. Does the music and popular culture embraced by millions of Americans have elements that many of us see as celebrating violence, ignorance and misogyny? Are these elements part of an evening of entertainment? I'm afraid so. Are the owners and managers of the clubs in downtown Springfield directly responsible for the violence that may take place near their businesses? That can only be determined on a case-by-case basis. So what can be done? I agree with people who say if a pattern of violence can be traced to how a club is being managed, then the licenses for that business need to be affected, either by a penalty of being closed for a length of time or removed permanently. Right now are there any downtown clubs that fall into that category? Established "bad apples," as Sarno would say? I think we have to face the hard reality that we live in a society in which a young adult with a few drinks in him can "right" a perceived wrong by going back to his car, grab the gun he has there and wait for his victims to come out of a club in order to shoot them. I'm not excusing anyone here. I'm describing what has happened in the past. What are our options? Ban young adults from downtown? Ban all bars? Prohibit the sale of alcohol? Have checkpoints to search people and cars from weapons before coming into the district? I'm interested in hearing what you think. I really believe the city needs a fully operational police sub-station in the middle of the district. I'll nominate the former Skybar location at Stearns Square. I think that kind of police presence will be needed to help deal with the various challenges the MGM casino will bring to downtown as well. I also believe that recruiting additional restaurants to the area might also help. That may be difficult with the looming presence of MGM as I would bet many of the existing eateries are worried about their fate once the casino complex opens. Drop me a line what you think. Agree? Disagree? Drop me a line at email@example.com or at 280 N. Main St., East Longmeadow, MA 01028.

Ok I planted Israel Melons (Hao'gen) which are a sweet cantaloupe (but taste like a honey dew and smell like guava)
however something odd has happen to me and has never happened before with these seeds. I had saved seeds from the israel melons in 2005 that I planted and used them year after year with no problem until that is this year! What has occured and I am guessing is that it has seemed to cross polinate with the banana melons i planted or something else, because now I havwe cucumber shaped melons that have bumps on them just like a pickling cucumber! That does not look or feel anything like the hao'gens so somehow I have a wierd hybrid here. I need some advice |
Follow-Up Postings:
does it taste good? :) |
Hi, Yes, you got a cross with another melon like your Banana melon or an Armenian Cucumber which is part of the Cucumis melo family as your Israeli melon is. Some melons do look like cucumbers. They are in the same family. (Cucumbers are Cucumis sativus. They do not cross with melons.) Melons need insect pollination to make fruit so you have to keep quite a distance between varieties to keep seed saved pure. Hopefully, you still have the old uncrossed seeds. If not, you will need to buy seeds for the Israeli melon again. Remy |

thats just it though I never planted Armenian Cucumber or any other cucumber for that matter, however this year we have crookneck squash butternut and zuchinni...it is very odd because as you know israel melons are round...and these melons are shaped just like a cucumber and have bumps on them...im at a loss since cucumbers were no where near our garden nor did we plant them, its gotta be the nanna melons...hmmm i will wait and see how they taste |
Hi, I believe you misunderstood me. Your melon cannot cross with a cucumber. I was just pointing out the fact that some melons look like, or are called, cucumbers since they are very closely related botanically. Your melon crossed with another melon. If the only other melon you grew was the Banana melon then that would be the culprit or if you have a neighbor within a 1/2 mile growing melons, it could of crossed with one of their melons. Remy |

I just pulled this off one of my cucumber plants. I am growing Minnesota Midget melons nearby in containers about 10 feet away. The taste is sweet. The flavour is half cucumber half cantaloupe. The flesh is very much like the flesh of a cantaloupe the goo that holds half the seeds is orange like in cantaloupes, and the seeds are arranged like in a cantaloupe. On the other side, the seeds are arranged like in a cucumber.I saved some seeds to see what grows Cuke-e-loupe Cuke-e-loupe2 |

NAB Calls for Modest Ownership Reform
Washington, DC - Jul 12, 2010 - In comments filed with the Federal Communications Commission, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) expressed its support for modest reform of media ownership rules, including elimination of cross-ownership rules and reform of the television duopoly rule.
Broadcasters "must have the flexibility to form competitively viable ownership structures," the filing reads. "Ownership rules that limit the ways broadcasters can compete in a digital, multichannel environment adversely affect stations' abilities to serve their diverse audiences and local communities."
The NAB noted that local broadcasters' more prominent competitors "enjoy dual revenue streams of both subscriber fees and advertising revenues" and are not subject to local or national ownership restrictions. "Existing ownership restrictions are not needed to ensure programming, viewpoint, source or outlet diversity in the 21st century media marketplace," the filing said.
"Simply put, it is untenable to maintain broadcast-only restrictions on the assumption that common ownership of stations could somehow reduce the ability of consumers to access diverse information or harm competition in the information marketplace."
Specifically, the NAB urges the commission to eliminate the newspaper-broadcast and radio-television cross-ownership rules. The group also called for "substantial reform" of the television duopoly rule, urging the Commission to allow combinations in markets of all sizes. "Same-market combinations improve programming generally and promote the provision of news programming specifically," the NAB said.
The NAB also expressed its support for the continuing relaxation of local radio restrictions "in light of the increasingly fragmented audio marketplace and the financial challenges facing local stations."
With regard to ownership diversity, the NAB reiterated its support for "incentives to promote new entry and access to capital."

This is kind of bugging me...
I'm just started using inventor 2013 (from 2010) & the way colours/materials are applied has completely changed so I'm learning again from scratch.
Here's my issue: A customer has sent a casting to me in Parasolid format. When I open it, all the unmachined surface are blue & look a bit garish. However, the colours of the machined faces are ok & I wish to keep them.
So, I want to chage all the surfaces that are blue - I can use the picker & select all the blue faces seperately (by holding CTRL down & select each face one be one) but this is a pain & takes ages (there are over 200 faces)
I can see & edit the blue color in the manager but how do I tell Inventor to replace all - can it be done?
I'm afraid that it looks like manual selection, if this is to be believed (Autodesk Help Page);
Would it be easier to change the entire part colour (based on the top toolbar), then select the machined faces and change them - if there are fewer faces of course.
If you have a model tree with all of the cuts, extrusions etc, you could change them individually.
Many times, at least with STEP & SolidWorks imports, changing the part color/appearance doesn't affect the individual faces. To wipe out all the individual face colors, right click on the solid body (Solid1, typically), select Properties, then change the Body Appearance to "As Part" and select Clear All Overrides.
In your case, I guess it depends on how many cast faces vs. machined faces. You can pick all the blue faces and change them, or your can revert everything to As Part and pick the machined faces. You'll have to manually pick one or the other.
Sorry for the extremely late reply - I've was taken off this project to work on something else but I'm back on it now.
Thanks for the reply & help sbixler. I will take a look later & report back.
The machined faces are extremely hard to pick as they are inside & difficult to see, so to gobally change the external cast faces is much easier.

5 Ways To Have More Fun
Step 4: Indulge!
Behavioral science teaches that to be radically happier, you need to have more good things in your life than bad things. The best thing you can do to have a better life, the science indicates, is have more "plusses" and so it is necessary to find out what constitutes "positive reinforcement" for you.
Is your indulgence
- A piece of dark chocolate?
- Romantic time with your partner?
- Getting a massage?
- Keeping an office tea time at 3 p.m.?
- Going for a nature walk before work?
- Snuggling with the pets?
- Going to a spin class?
- People watching at the mall?
Try to insert at least three indulgences into your day, and watch how quickly you feel happier.
5. Do right by others.
Despite what the media may have us believe about how people are motivated, the human species is incredibly strong because it is a pro-social species.
It is certainly not because of our bodies. Even our house pets have more sophisticated musculature and perception than we do.
What makes us strong is that we help each other out. And helping each other out strengthens the positive social-feedback loop, a social psychological construct best explained by this example.
I feel good about something I did for someone else. This, in turn, makes someone else feel good, and other people perceive me feeling good about myself. They respond to me both as a behaviorally positive person, and a person who feels good about himself. Success attracts success, and good attracts good. People are therefore more inclined to treat me well, and so on, ad infinitum.
In other words: Be positive. Be grateful. Be kind to others. People will return the favor to you. And you will have much more fun!

Hi--in order to screen view of neighbor's house I need something tall and wide that will survive under an old maple with large roots. I have a shrub screen down the property line up to the dripline of the maple. Is a shrub even possible, or should I try trellised vines, which will look odd under a tree. Ideas welcome! |
Follow-Up Postings:
An unusual solution would be to try bamboo. Believe it or not, there are species that are not aggressive, but that will grow in dry shade and around tree roots. I have a species called Sasa senanensis. It gets about 11' tall, has palm like leaves, and is evergreen in zone 6. It is thriving underneath a large Norway maple that hogs light, rain and nutrients. There are other species that will do well too - Sasa palmata, Pseudosasa japonica. They are not invasive and require little care. Just snip unwanted sprouts once a year to keep them contained. The link is for a bamboo nursery that has a good catalog with photos and descriptions. You can look up the species I mentioned above if you're interested in finding out more. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bamboo source

Report to the World Bank, Fiscal Reform and the Role of the Township
January 2006
In this paper we set out to accomplish three objectives. First, we wanted to track and describe the way the fiscal reforms have been implemented in China's townships. Second, we have tried to identify the effect that the fiscal reforms have had on the fiscal health of the township. This objective was pursued in three contexts: the effect on the average township; the effect on townships in different provinces; and the effect on townships in poor and rich townships. Finally, we sought to assess the impact that the fiscal reforms had on village fiscal health and farmer satisfaction.

Have You Fallen Out of Love With Your Partner?
We have only to look at the divorce rate—41% for first marriages, 60% for second marriages, and a whopping 73% for third marriages (http://www.divorcerate.org/)—to know that people often fall out of love with their spouse. Why do so many people fall out of love?
Don, 37 and Megan, 32, fell passionately 'in love' soon after meeting. They had fiery chemistry and loved being together. Now, two years into their marriage, the passion is gone and they both believe they made a mistake. But did they?
Don was brought up to believe that his good feelings had to come from a woman's love. Both his parents role-modeled self-abandonment for their own feelings of worth and lovability and made each other responsible for their happiness. Don's mother took way too much responsibility for Don's feelings, so he grew up believing that his partner was responsible for his feelings.
Megan grew up with two very needy parents, who both made her responsible for their feelings. She became a caretaker, taking responsibility for their feelings and wellbeing, and learning to ignore her own.
Since we come together at our common level of woundedness—our common level of self-abandonment—Don and Megan were perfect for each other. They fell passionately 'in love' because Megan's wounded self did a great job of caretaking Don's feelings. Don felt loved by Megan, and Megan felt needed by Don.
The problem was that Megan couldn't possibly meet all of Don's needs, and when she didn't, he was angry and miserable. The more miserable he become, the more guilty and responsible Megan felt. Anger, misery and guilt do not create passion.
